Martial Arts Center starts 2012 with new Bluffton location

Riptide Mixed Martial Arts Center has relocated its facility from Hilton Head Island to a 4,000-square-foot space, located at 36 Persimmons St., Building 300, Suite 303 in Bluffton’s Sheridan Park.

The new move comes just in time to help area residents keep their fitness New Year’s resolutions. Riptide owner, John Juarez relocated to a much larger, more up-to-date facility in order to offer more classes for its members. In addition to Mixed Martial Arts cage training, Riptide now offers longer gym hours, bootcamp classes for women, more classes for teenagers and children and cross fitness training programs.

Riptide’s trainers specialize in general physical training, as well as Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, self-defense and Mixed Martial Arts. All ages and abilities are welcomed. Riptide offers discounts for students, military and teachers.
